AI Ship Point Defence Mod
Have just uploaded to the Mods/Archive section my point defence mod for the AI's ships.
As I indicated in an earlier thread, the mod doesnt change the way in which the AI ships fight, but, does design their ships better for the way that they do fight.
You will find that they fight very well versus missiles, fighters and satellites, but, will be slightly outgunned beam to beam wise for a given ship size. This does make them much better opponents though, particulalry if they get a slight tech edge on you (or if you get them starting bonuses).
Also, AI weapons platforms receive double their previous point defence mounts.
Also included are reduced cost Remote Miner Components and a Constructor component (basically a one third shipyard which will fit into a Destroyer).
I have played a couple of short games with this mod and it appears to work, but, I havent played a long game yet, so some further tweaking may be necessary with it.
Hope you have fun with it and get some challenging games. I'll be interested to get your feedback on it.
